A staple for centuries, it's no wonder that black beans are one of the most popular beans available. Their dark rich color is paired with a mild, sweet taste that's vaguely reminiscent of a mushroom. This makes them a can do bean that's perfect for vegetarian recipes or as a stand-alone side dish. They retain their shape in cooking, and they're perfect for sides, salads, and salsas. Our low sodium black beans have the same taste and feel, but with less sodium at only 140mg per serving.
